Join us on this episode of DriveThruHR as we sit down with Kim Kavin, (X)co-founder of the Fight For Freelancers coalition and a leading voice in the movement to protect the rights of independent contractors. Kim shares her journey into advocacy and offers sharp insights into the challenges posed by sectoral organizing and freelance-busting legislation, such as California’s AB5, the Massachusetts ballot measure, and the PRO Act.
We’ll explore why these legislative efforts have sparked such fierce debates, what they mean for the future of freelance work, and how policymakers can find balanced, bipartisan solutions. Kim also discusses the workforce transformation from 1955 to 2025, emphasizing the growing need for a labor policy that respects the rights of both traditional employees and independent contractors.
If you’re a freelancer, small business owner, or HR professional, this conversation is packed with practical advice on how to get involved, protect your rights, and help shape the future of work. Don’t miss this engaging and informative discussion with one of the leading advocates for America’s independent workforce!
